Overview of ActivityThis second year female
Saw-whet Owl was banded at Westchester Community College in
Valhalla NY on Nov 19, 2010. She stayed on campus a few
days, moved to a residential area for a few more days, and
then concentrated activity in an area of approximately 170
acres. She roosted by day in the backyard of a
residential area and hunted by night in nearby woods.
She stayed through Thanksgiving, but left on Christmas Day,
approximately 15 hours before a coastal storm arrived.
The storm blanketed the area with 1.5 to 2 feet of snow.80 Observations in 37 Days
